Chapter 83: How Can We Fight a Boss That Self-Heals?

Chapter 83: How Can We Fight a Boss That Self-Heals?

The surrounding vegetation grew increasingly lush, with grass gradually covering Viktor's waist and surrounding everyone.

Huge flower buds emerged from the sea of flowers, suddenly blooming in the air.

"This is..."

"[Samsara Fragrance]."

Viktor named this field for everyone present.

Just like the Fire Calamity Guledon's ability.

Druja also possessed the power to alter terrain.

At this moment, Druja's three pairs of eyes stared intently at Viktor for a while.

It sensed a familiar aura from Viktor.

But its kin looked... very weak.

So weak that it seemed unable to withstand even a normal strike from itself.

Viktor was also unwilling to show anything to it, his hands gradually beginning to construct a complex fourth-tier formation.

The four-layered formation gradually converged in his single hand, the patterns once again overlapping after a long time.

Soon, the empty four-layered rings were inscribed with countless runes and intricate patterns.

Streams of golden light slowly rose from beneath Viktor's feet.

Attack, defense, magic power, agility...

Numerous buffs began to stack continuously on Viktor's status bar.

Feeling many warm powers gradually spreading throughout his body, Viktor stared at the Wood Calamity before him and smiled faintly.

Vega stood on his shoulder, seeming relaxed as well.

After all, having fought alongside Viktor so many times, it was no longer as panicked as when it first encountered a Calamity with Viktor.

Instead, it was extremely excited.

"Viktor! Crush it for me!"

As for why Vega wanted to beat up Druja so badly.

It was because the Wood Calamity was what Vega had helped Viktor resurrect.

The surrounding magical and natural forces intertwined, becoming very chaotic.

In this environment, Viktor naturally found it difficult to locate Druja's core essence in a short time.

So Vega flew to the crown of Halgal, using its eyes to probe for magical vulnerabilities in Halgal.

Through the connection with Vega, Viktor was able to use the power of the Fire Calamity to resurrect the slumbering Druja.

This Calamity, imprisoned within Halgal by the Grand Mage and used as an endless source of magical power, was awakened once again.

Finally, it seemed to come to its senses, realizing how long it had been imprisoned.

A roar of anger echoed throughout the bottom of Endymion.

Haim's eyes widened; he couldn't believe what Viktor had unsealed.

The pressure created by just the roar of the giant beast before him was enough to make his whole body tremble.

At this moment, he couldn't even seek external help.

Hundreds of phantoms identical to Haim were spread around the barrier, using all of his magic to support this defensive shield.

All he could do now was try his best to ensure that the power of this terrifying calamity beast would not leak into Endymion.

Cocotte's condition wasn't much better either.

She almost fell off her cloud, kneeling on it with her heart pounding like a drum.

If it were other Calamities, Cocotte wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

But the Calamity before her was the embodiment of wood energy.

Most of Cocotte's powerful nature magic was wood-based; if this Calamity became slightly displeased, she wouldn't even be able to construct magic.

She sat on the cloud, on the verge of tears, murmuring.

"I believe it, brother, I really believe it now."

Viktor hadn't lied to her.

He really had fought with Calamities before.

The battle was about to begin.

A health bar gradually lit up before Viktor's eyes, seemingly endless at first glance.

Above the start of the health bar appeared the Wood Calamity's level.

Level 55!

It was a full five levels higher than the previous Guledon.

After all, Guledon had been in a dormant state before, and even when awakened, its strength hadn't fully recovered.

But Druja was different.

Having been beneath Endymion all this time, even though it had just awakened, under the magical influence of Endymion, it was more powerful than the freshly awakened Guledon.

But unfortunately!

Viktor faced the powerful Calamity before him.

In the game's storyline, this Calamity's first appearance was after the Dark Archmage attacked the bottom of Halgal.

As Endymion was about to fall, Druja revived.

Viktor watched the bomb-like explosions constantly detonating in the air like fireworks, put down the magic staff in his hand, and retrieved the hundreds of flying cards.

Those magical beasts were eliminated by Viktor in an instant, and now, Druja, seeing Viktor unscathed, roared again in anger.

Its three green giant hands reached out to grab Viktor.

This time, Viktor didn't dodge, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes, allowing Druja's attack to strike him directly.

Feeling the approaching crisis, Druja was now unable to withdraw its attack, and intense pressure suddenly appeared on Viktor.

In just an instant, the powerful air pressure violently burst.

However, this time it wasn't Viktor who was attacked, but the Wood Calamity.

Due to the effect of the Mage's Robe, the shield produced by Viktor caused severe damage to Druja.

Viktor seized the Wood Calamity's stun time, sending hundreds of flying cards shooting towards the Calamity's chest.

In an instant, they easily broke through Druja's multiple defenses.

Blood spurted from Druja's body!

This was Druja's first real injury!

Haim stood stunned, unable to comprehend how Viktor had the strength to engage with such a god-like being.

And... even had some advantage?

But soon, a luminous green color coated Druja's body.

The wounds it had just received, in the blink of an eye, recovered to an almost complete state.

This terrifying recovery ability left both Haim and Cocotte dumbfounded.

"This kind of being..."

"Is it really... possible to defeat?"

...

The surroundings fell silent.

After everyone had left, only Aurelian remained in the Mage Council.

Unlike the room she had imagined, at first, she thought the Mage Council would be some luxurious place.

Like a palace, piled with gold and silver bricks, a symbol of the mages' nobility.

However, it wasn't.

The surrounding walls, which seemed almost alive, made her feel her sanity was under attack just by glancing at them, and she dared not look again.

"Teacher will be back soon, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."

As she spoke, a "whimper" sound came from behind her, startling Aurelian.

To be honest, she was a bit timid.

If she hadn't known Viktor was there before, she wouldn't have dared to fight with such monsters.

"Uh... Teacher."

Aurelian wanted to close her eyes in fear, but as she slightly raised her head.

Suddenly, something appeared in front of her.

A strange door appeared before her.

The strange door slowly opened, as if attracting Aurelian to enter.

She felt something was amiss and shook her head vigorously to clear her mind.

"No, I should stay here."

"I absolutely shouldn't cause trouble for Teacher."

But the door's temptation made her feel very safe on the other side.

She resisted the temptation and closed her eyes, trying not to think about it.

But the moment she closed her eyes.

The surrounding scene changed like a meteor shower.

Even Aurelian herself didn't notice.

Soon, a faint ringing sound came from beside her ear.

Hearing this sound, she opened her eyes in a daze and stood stunned.

A library-like place appeared before her.

This library-like place was very strange, like a spherical space, with stairs and bookshelves chaotically twisted and distributed on the surface of the sphere.

Bookshelves and stairs were scattered between, like a suspended maze.

Looking up, the scenery on the ceiling was the same as the bookshelves she had just seen, only it seemed to have been inverted.

As if forcibly distorted, various psychedelic books were deliberately crammed into this spherical space.

Some open books floated in the air, filled with runes that Aurelian couldn't understand.

"Where... is this?"

Aurelian couldn't understand why she was here when she had been standing still...

Suddenly, a memory forcibly poured into her mind, causing her head to ache as she looked at this magical place before her.

A word suddenly appeared in her memory.

Aurelian murmured it out loud.

"Magic... Library?"
